Polygons and Macs

Our new story this week is great! We all loved, Dear Mr. Henshaw. Dustless chalk... who would have thought it would change our results!!!!
Our chalk did better than we thought because we had "dustless" chalk!!

Grape Jolly Ranchers - They did not hold up so well in the water!!!!
Making polygons with power polygons!!! Oh what fun math can be!!!!

We were learning to "build" 3, 4, and 5+ sided polygons and count our sides.
Our polygons come in all shapes and sizes! You would be amazed at what all we can make and learn from these shapes!!!

Wednesday's will now be known as : Web Days in Room 138! Our school received Mac Carts with 32 laptops!! Our day is Wednesday and this week we did lots of cool stuff. Of course, everything we access at school, you can access at home. Like Gizmos, Destination Success, FCAT Explorer, Brain Pop, etc. These are great FREE resources to help your student get ready for FCAT.
We noticed Wednesday, NOT one student needed a restroom break....
a PASS to the clinic...
or SNACK!!! These computers were a big hit!!!



Remember Friday is a WHOLE DAY Celebration!!! We can't wait to see what you bring in!!!! Just think on Monday you will have 90 days of 5th grade left!! That means 90 days and you will NO LONGER be in elementary school!!!! YIKES!!!
Whole Day Celebration pictures to follow!!!!
